José Maria Escobar (born ca. 1751) was adopted by José Miguel Antonio Ramírez, and was brought to live in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico when he was nine years old. Maria Antonia Gertrudis Chapa was the daughter of Maria Rita López de Jaen, who was the second wife of Escobar's adoptive father. In 1770, Escobar married Maria Antonia Gertrudis Chapa. He inherited a portion of land called Porción 76 from Ramírez, and later purchased the remainder of Porción 76 from his mother in law and step-mother, Maria Rita López de Jaen. The property was in Mier, which later became part of Starr County, Texas. Escobar ancestors came from Spain to Mexico, some being soldiers with Cortez at Vera Cruz in 1519. Members of the Escobar family lived in Texas and northern Mexico, along the Rio Grande River. They settled mainly at Escobares, Los Sáenz, La Rosita, Roma (Roma-Los Sáenz), and Rio Grande City. Others moved to California, New York, Ohio, Washington D.C., and elsewhere.

This authoritative, annotated translation of the 17th century text is essential reading for historians of New Spain and Spanish Texas. In the seventeenth century, South Texas and Northeastern Mexico formed El Nuevo Reino de León, a frontier province of New Spain. In 1690, Juan Bautista Chapa penned a richly detailed history of Nuevo León for the years 1630 to 1690. Although his Historia de Nuevo León was not published until 1909, it has since been acclaimed as the key contemporary document for any historical study of Spanish colonial Texas. This book offers the only accurate and annotated English translation of Chapa's Historia. In addition to the translation, William C. Foster also summarizes the Discourses of Alonso de León (the elder), which cover the years 1580 to 1649. The appendix includes a translation of Alonso (the younger) de León's previously unpublished revised diary of the 1690 expedition to East Texas and an alphabetical listing of over 80 Indian tribes identified in this book. Chapa’s Historia lists the names and locations of over 300 Indian tribes. This information, together with descriptions of the vegetation, wildlife, and climate in seventeenth-century Texas, make this book essential reading for ethnographers, anthropologists, and biogeographers, as well as students and scholars of Spanish borderlands history.

In River of Hope, Omar S. Valerio-Jiménez examines state formation, cultural change, and the construction of identity in the lower Rio Grande region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He chronicles a history of violence resulting from multiple conquests, of resistance and accommodation to state power, and of changing ethnic and political identities. The redrawing of borders neither began nor ended the region's long history of unequal power relations. Nor did it lead residents to adopt singular colonial or national identities. Instead, their regionalism, transnational cultural practices, and kinship ties subverted state attempts to control and divide the population. Diverse influences transformed the borderlands as Spain, Mexico, and the United States competed for control of the region. Indian slaves joined Spanish society; Mexicans allied with Indians to defend river communities; Anglo Americans and Mexicans intermarried and collaborated; and women sued to confront spousal abuse and to secure divorces. Drawn into multiple conflicts along the border, Mexican nationals and Mexican Texans (tejanos) took advantage of their transnational social relations and ambiguous citizenship to escape criminal prosecution, secure political refuge, and obtain economic opportunities. To confront the racialization of their cultural practices and their increasing criminalization, tejanos claimed citizenship rights within the United States and, in the process, created a new identity.
